IMPORTANT 

Please  bear  in  mind  at  the  outset  that  Circle  A  Unit  construction  (Patents 
Pending)  is  absolutely  unique.  There  is  nothing  else  like  it. 

Circle  A  construction  is  factory  completed  UNIT  construction.  And  when 
we  say  completed  we  mean  to  the  last  and  finest  detail,  including  painting, 
hardware,  flooring,  interior  plaster  walls  and  ceilings,  even  to  shingles  on  the 
roofs. 

And  Circle  A  completed  units  are  factory  built  by  expert  builders,  employ¬ 
ing  every  effective  detail  of  accuracy  and  saving  made  possible  by  modern 
methods  and  careful  supervision  in  the  thoroughly  up-to-date  wood-working 
plants  of  the  Alexander  Lumber  Company.  Thus  these  completed  units  come 
to  you  all  ready  for  instant  assembling  by  bolting.  A  hammer,  wrench  and 
screwdriver  are  the  only  tools  you  need. 

The  method  of  The  Alexander  Lumber  Company  is  “from  stump  to  con¬ 
sumer.”  The  trees  are  cut  down  in  their  forests  and  the  logs  are  cut  by  them 
into  the  lumber  that  never  passes  from  their  possession  until  the  completed 
units  are  ready  for  shipment  to  the  consumer.  You  get  the  direct  benefit  of 
all  these  splendid  money-saving  resources:

CAPACITY  OF  THESE  MILLS  500,000  FEET  DAILY 

Wholesale  millwork  and  assembly  plant  at  Decatur,  Ill. 

Sectional  building  and  general  woodworking  factories  and  lumber  storage 
yards  at  Champaign,  Ill. 

LUMBER  AND  BUILDING  MATERIAL  YARDS 

79  plants  in  various  towns  and  cities  of  Illinois  and  Iowa. 

All  the  foregoing  (while  under  several  corporate  names)  are  owned  and 
operated  personally  by  the  same  aggregation  of  officers  and  stockholders,  that 
have  successfully  handled  them  for  the  last  quarter  of  a  century. 

Circle  A  Unit  Buildings  are  a  natural  outgrowth  of  these  25  years’  experi¬ 
ence  and  development  in  this  one  field. 

Sectional  buildings  heretofore  manufactured  have  only  been  partially  built 
at  factory.  The  purchaser  received  the  outside  shell  only.  Wood  ceiling,  wall 
board,  interior  finish,  hardware  and  other  materials  were  furnished  extra,  which 
then  had  to  be  nailed  or  fitted  into  place  and  painted  to  complete  the  struct- 
tures.  The  extra  labor  and  materials  needed  and  the  necessary  services  of  ex¬ 
pert  workmen  added  greatly  to  the  original  cost  and  the  method  of  completion 
destroyed  their  portable  features.  Circle  A  Unit  buildings  are  unusually  sub¬ 
stantial  and  rigid,  yet  portable. 

The  interior  walls  of  ordinary  “sectional”  buildings  always  make  them 
look  like  makeshifts.  Shrinkage  leaves  the  walls  and  partitions  so  one  can  see 
through  the  joints  and  they  become  cold  and  draughty.  In  Circle  A  Unit  con¬ 
struction  (“patents  pending”),  however,  each  section  is  absolutely  complete  in 
itself  when  it  reaches  you.  The  exterior  walls  are  made  of  heavy  siding  outside 
and  full  plaster  panels  inside,  with  dead  air  space  and  two  thicknesses  of  paper 
insulation,  better  than  most  permanent  building  construction.  All  painting 
and  staining  is  completed,  each  window,  door  or  fly  screen  is  fitted  into  the 
section  and  all  hardware  attached  before  shipping. 

Never  before  has  a  building  so  completely  built  at  factory  and  by  expert 
workmen  been  offered  the  public. 

Circle  A  Unit  construction  appeals  to  representative  contractors  desirous 
of  giving  prompt,  efficient  and  comprehensive  service  in  large  volume  at  this 
time  when  labor  conditions  are  notably  stringent.  Yet  Circle  A  Unit  construe-

tion  is  not  a  makeshift — it  lends  itself  with  equal  facility  and  economy  to  those 
seeking  a  high  class  permanent  dwelling  or  other  building  as  to  those  seeking 
dispatch,  where  time  is  vital  and  needs  are  temporary. 

Circle  A  Unit  construction  is  even  stronger  and  more  element  proof — 
(heat,  cold  and" storm) — than  standard  permanent  construction.  This  is  due 
to  the  known  quality,  thorough  insulation  and  stability  of  each  unit  before  it 
leaves  the  factory. 


Flexibility  and  Salvageability 

Because  each  Circle  A  section  is  an  interchangeable  unit,  complete  in  itself, 
these  buildings  can  be  arranged  to  suit  owner  after  arrival  or  erection.  The 
same  units  moreover  will  build  a  garage,  residence,  hospital,  school,  barracks, 
or  other  buildirgs  of  most  any  arrangement  desired.  It  is  just  as  easy  to  dis¬ 
mount  the  buildings  as  to  erect  them  and  nothing  is  destroyed,  lost  or  injured 
in  the  process. 

But,  more  than  this,  Circle  A  Unit  construction  provides  for  expansion  as 
desired.  The  one-room  home  or  building  of  today  can  be  added  to  at  will,  from 
time  to  time.  This  makes  the  initial  investment  within  reach  of  farm  tenant 
or  laborer,  yet  Circle  A  Units  are  always  marketable,  being  unaffected  by  change 
of  general  building  design,  or  size,  or  time. 

This  feature  especially  commends  itself  at  present,  particularly,  as  applied 
to  large  industrial  operations  where  housing  is  of  a  temporary  yet  elastic  nature. 
When  the  need  for  such  buildings  has  passed  the  same  Circle  A  units  can  he 
used  for  other  purposes,  whether  for  garages,  assembly  halls,  club  rooms,  sani¬ 
tariums,  farm  houses  or  even  as  additions  to  warehouses  or  other  factory 
buildings. 


Circle  A  Building  Cost 

Circle  A  Building  prices  mentioned  in  this  book  cover  a  host  of  items 
which  must  be  paid  for  as  costly  extras  in  buildings  of  other  construction  such 
as  portable,  sectional  and  ready  cut. 

Many  a  “mail  order”  building  has  been  purchased  with  the  thought  that 
the  first  cost  was  the  last  cost,  but  the  purchaser  soon  found  that  he  must  buy 
extra  material  and  pay  for  much  skilled  labor  in  many  branches  of  the  build¬ 
ing  trades  to  complete  it. 

“Ready  cut”  construction  is  excellent  in  theory,  but  usually  an  economical 
failure  in  practice,  for  the  reason  that  much  time  of  highly  paid  workmen  must 
be  wasted  in  first  locating  the  large  number  of  small  pieces  and  then  assem¬ 
bling  them  in  “picture  puzzle”  fashion — this  exceeding  in  most  cases  the  cost 
of  building  in  the  regular  way. 

Not  only  this,  but  all  ready  cut  and  practically  all  other  sectional  build¬ 
ings  with  finished  interior  walls,  lose  their  flexibility  and  portability  when 
once  erected,  involving  a  serious  loss  once  the  need  for  them  has  passed. 

On  the  other  hand,  Circle  A  Unit  buildings  never  lose  their  flexibility  or 
portability,  thus  insuring  a  marked  financial  saving  through  years  of  service, 
a  further  factor  of  efficiency  being  their  great  stability  and  durability  by  rea¬ 
son  of  the  complete  workmanlike  and  practical  construction  of  the  units  them¬ 
selves.

Prices  on  buildings  quoted  herein  are  complete  costs  F.  0.  B.  cars  factory, 
not  including  heating,  lighting,  plumbing,  gutters,  spouting  and  assembly,  most 
of  which  items  are  usually  handled  as  separate  contracts  in  any  type  of  con¬ 
struction. 

Where  Circle  A  unit  buildings  are  erected  on  cedar  posts  and  panel  work 
foundations  and  square  steel  air  cooled  chimneys  (patents  pending),  our  prices 
include  these  items.  Where  masonry,  foundations  and  chimneys  are  wanted 
the  average  value  of  labor  and  materials  to  be  purchased  locally  is  estimated 
for  buyers’  guidance.  Masonry  materials  are  heavy  and  transportation  costs 
high  in  proportion  to  their  value ;  therefore  they  can  usually  be  secured  locally 
at  considerable  saving. 

Thus,  while  Circle  A  Building  prices  may  seem  somewhat  higher  at  first 
glance,  an  analysis  of  them  will  show  clearly  the  fact  that  the  cost  is  really 
less  than  for  other  buildings,  bearing  in  mind  the  cost  of  labor  and  added 
materials  necessary  to  the  completion  of  the  other  types.  Not  forgetting  that 
this  additional  cost  is  often  further  increased  by  workmen’s  errors,  delays  in 
delivery,  and  “piece-meal”  construction. 

Circle  A  Unit  buildings  are  completely  on  the  ground  before  construction 
is  started,  assembly  by  unskilled  labor  being  but  a  matter  of  hours — no  delay 
at  any  point — no  laborious  matching  of  parts — no  small  pieces  to  confuse,  get 
lost  or  misplaced — no  section  too  large  for  two  men  to  install — no  complicated 
diagrams  to  follow — no  “hitch”  of  any  kind.  Circle  A  units  fit  readily,  easily 
and  accurately,  quickly  merging  into  artistic  structures  that  suggest  nothing 
of  their  sectional  nature,  while  assuming  a  rigidity  and  stability  of  permanent 
character.

SPECIFICATIONS 

Circle  A  BuHding  Units  are  absolutely  completed  at  factory.  They  consist  of  four  types,  namely: 
Floors,  Walls,  Ceilings,  and  Roof  Sections,  uniformly  three  feet  wide  and  interchangeable.  Each  type 
of  section  is  completely  built,  painted,  stained  and  all  hardware  put  on  at  our  plants.  The  walls  and 
ceiling  sections  are  provided  with  re-inforced  plaster  panels  inserted  at  the  factory.  Sills  equivalent  to 
4x8  in.,  floor  beams  4x6  in.,  corner  posts  4x8  in.,  wall  posts,  ceiling  joists  and  rafters  4  x  4  in.  This 
is  heavier  construction  than  that  used  in  standard  frame  buildings,  they  are  also  more  element  proof. 

The  window  sections  contain  the  windows  glazed  and  painted,  hardware  attached,  screens  installed. 
The  door  sections  have  doors  and  screens  fitted,  hardware  installed  and  painted.  Standard 'wall  sections 
are  8ft.  high  but  can  be  increased  to  10ft.  if  required. 

Foundations 

Where  estimates  are  given  for  masonry  foundations  and  chimneys  they  provide  for  foundation  walls 
3’0”  high  overall,  8”  thick  with  12”  footings  of  common  brick.  Chimneys  of  hard  brick  with  face  brick  for 
mantels  and  fire  clay  tops  on  chimneys  as  shown.  Hearths  are  made  of  red  tile  laid  in  cement. 

Foundations  consisting  of  cedar  posts,  panel  or  lattice  work  and  steel  chimneys  are  furnished  by  us 
for  the  buildings  under  Alternates  No.  2,  3,  and  4. 

Type  “A”  Roof  Sections 

These  roof  sections  (patents  pending)  are  made  of  clear  red  cedar  shingles  stained  with  green  or 
brown  colored  creosote  and  attached  to  roof  sheathing  and  rafters  with  cement  coated  nails  over  asphalt 
coated  felt  flashings.  Water  proof  joints  are  provided  at  intersections.  These  sections  are  absolutely 
completed  at  our  factories.  See  details. 

Type  “B”  Roof  Sections 

These  wood  face  roof  sections  (patents  pending)  are  made  of  clear  red  cedar  clapboards  dipped  in  oil 
and  attached  with  cement  coated  nails  to  rafters  over  asphalt  roofing.  They  are  painted  red  or  green  and 
provided  with  water  proof  joints  at  intersections.  They  make  a  long  lived  and  attractive  roof  at  less 
expense  than  shingles.  These  units  are  complete  when  they  leave  our  factories.  See  details. 

Type  “C”  Roof  Sections 

This  is  the  cheapest  form  of  sectional  roof  in  our  building  system.  The  rafters  are  covered  with  one 
inch  ship  lap  and  the  (Circle  A)  green  or  red  slate  coated  asphalt  roofing  is  sent  separately  to  be  applied 
on  the  job  after  the  roof  sections  are  in  place. 

Type  “D”  Wall  Sections 

These  walls  are  designed  for  those  preferring  the  old  fashioned  bevel  siding,  which  is  made  of  1-2  x  6 
clear  red  cedar  or  redwood  over  asphalt  sheathing  paper.  The  price  is  the  same  as  our  standard  construction. 

Materials 

Foundation  posts  cedar,  all  exposed  woodwork  and  construction  lumber  selected  No.  1  southern  pine. 

Roof  sheathing  1  inch  dressed  and  shiplapped.  Cornices  1x4  ceiling. 

Exterior  walls  1  inch  novelty  siding. 

Inside  floors  1x4  selected  No.  1,  dressed  and  matched. 

Interior  walls  and  ceilings  5-16  inch  re-inforced  plaster  panels. 

Roofing,  green  or  red  slatecoated  (Circle  “A”)  asphalt  (80  lbs.  to  the  sq.) 

Floor  bolts  one-half  inch,  all  others  five-sixteenths  inch. 

Hardware,  high  grade  residence  quality. 

All  interior  and  exterior  woodwork,  bungalow  brown  creosote  stain,  windows  and  doors  painted  out¬ 
side,  2  coats  white  lead  and  oil. 

Chimneys,  air  cooled  double  wall  construction,  lljxllj  in.  outside,  and  8x8  in.  inside  of  twenty- 
six  gauge  iron,  galvanized,  with  cast  iron  base,  supported  by  chimney  cupboard — see  description

Interior  View  of  “Circle  A”  Unit  Buildings 

The  illustration  above  shows  the  beamed  ceiling  and  paneled  wall  effect 
of  this  unique  construction.  Each  floor,  wall,  partition,  ceiling  and  roof  section 
is  three  feet  wide.  The  plaster  for  walls  and  ceilings  is  cast  the  full  size  of  each 
section  shown  above  and  is  inserted  into  the  wood  construction  at  the  factory, 
in  the  same  manner  as  wooden  panels  are  placed  in  doors.  The  method  of  rein¬ 
forcement  employed  in  manufacturing  the  plaster  panels,  makes  them  elastic 
enough  to  withstand  the  shocks  of  transportation,  erection  and  hard  usage 
without  cracking.  These  plaster  panels  owing  to  their  composition  are  lighter 
in  weight  than  one  would  anticipate  and  no  section  is  too  heavy  for  easy  handling 
in  erection  of  the  building.  The  color  of  the  plaster  is  cream  white  and  requires 
no  decoration  to  make  the  walls  effective  with  the  dark  brown  woodwork.  Water 
or  oil  colors  can  be  readily  used,  however,  on  the  surface  without  preparation. 
Each  window,  door,  wall  or  partition  section  is  readily  interchangeable  at  any 
time  before  or  after  erection.  As  many  window  sections  as  desired  can  be 
grouped  together  in  one  room  giving  fine  effects  for  living  rooms,  sleeping 
porches,  sun  parlors,  etc.  All  sectional  joints  are  interlocking  as  shown  on 
construction  details,  making  the  buildings  very  rigid  and  weather  tight — 
much  more  so  than  in  standard  construction. 

Owing  to  the  method  of  joining  floor  sections  to  each  other  and  the  wall 
sections  to  the  floors  no  air  can  pass  between  them  (see  details). 

The  oil  stain  used  on  interior  work  of  stock  units  is  mission  brown.  Any 
color  effect  (interior  or  exterior)  can  be  furnished  on  special  order  at  slightly 
increased  cost.

This  building  has  all  the  possibilities  in  development  and  specifications  of 
the  “Barracks”  model  on  opposite  page. 

Stripped  of  the  ventilators  and  pergolas,  provided  with  our  “B”  specifica¬ 
tion  wood  roof  (Patents  Pending)  this  Emergency  Hospital  building  can  be 
erected  on  level  ground  without  foundations  in  four  hours  by  sixteen  inex¬ 
perienced  men  or  boys  and  dismounted  in  one  half  the  time.  As  soon  as  roof 
sections  are  bolted  together  the  entire  roof  is  water  proof.  Frequent  change  of 
location  does  not  damage  the  roof  sections  owing  to  their  unique  construction. 

The  partitions  or  screens  can  be  used  or  not  according  to  circumstances.

These  buildings  (without  trusses)  are  limited  to  a  width  of  twenty-one  feet  eight  inches.  The  length 
may  be  extended  to  any  dimensions  in  multiples  of  three  feet  and  any  rotation  of  doors,  windows  or  blank 
walls.  The  strength  of  each  section  will  permit  of  using  window  sections  in  large  groups  for  factory  pur¬ 
poses.  Wide  doors  in  multiples  of  three  feet  in  width  may  be  secured. 

If  you  want  quick  expansion  at  lowest  cost  write  us  today.

EXTERIOR  VIEW  OF  TEMPORARY  AUDIENCE  ROOM  30ft.x80ft.  WITH  HEAVY  TRUSSED  ROOF 


There  are  no  posts  to  obstruct  the  vision.  Walls  are  our  standard  construction  with  plaster  panels 
and  roof  sections  are  covered  with  wall  board  inside.  The  addition  of  two  of  our  square  air  cooled  iron 
chimneys  with  stoves  will  heat  the  building  easily  in  winter  owing  to  the  thorough  insulation  of  the  units. 


INTERIOR  VIEW  OF  SAME  BUILDING  SHOWN  ABOVE  WITHOUT  FLOOR 
Note  the  heavy  trusses  Supported  at  walls  by  6x6in.  posts.  The  wall  posts  and  sections  are  ten  feet 
high  and  attached  to  continuous  sills  6x6in. 

The  possibilities  of  this  building  system  for  government,  industrial  and  civic  purposes  are  unlimited. 
The  roof  is  preferably  of  straight  type  with  gables  at  each  end  as  shown  on  pages  30  and  31,  as  much  time 
can  be  saved  in  erection  and  dismounting.  The  use  of  Circle  A  Unit  buildings  aids  greatly  in  the 
conservation  of  steel  at  greatly  reduced  cost.

Interior  View  of  Standard  Circle  A  Building 

With  Concrete  Floor 

The  wall  units  are  made  8  ft  and  10  ft  heights,  either  single  wall  construction  or 
insulated  against  heat  and  cold,  as  desired.  The  roof  units  can  be  provided  in  types 
“A,”  “B,”  and  “C”  as  detailed  in  our  catalog,  with  or  without  insulation. 

All  units  are  three  feet  in  width  and  buildings  can  be  erected  quickly  of  any  size 
in  multiples  of  three  feet  in  either  width  or  length. 

Up  to  21  feet  in  width  no  trusses  are  required;  up  to  49  feet  wide  the  roof  can  be 
carried  on  trusses  without  the  obstruction  of  posts  of  any  kind.  Lighter  truss  construc¬ 
tion  can  of  course  be  employed  at  corresponding  reduction  in  price,  if  a  few  posts  can 
be  used  in  the  center  of  the  buildings. 

There  is  practically  no  limit  to  the  uses  for  buildings  of  this  type,  and  they  aid  greatly 
in  the  conservation  of  steel  and  fuel.  In  writing  for  prices  kindly  send  rough  sketch 
of  floor  plan,  with  size  of  building  and  arrangement  of  doors,  windows,  and  blank  wall 
sections  in  multiples  of  3  feet.  Door  openings  can  also  he  made  on  the  same  system, 
3,  6,  9,  or  12  feet  in  width.  State  also  if  walls  and  roof  are  to  be  single  for  use  without 
heat  or  protected  by  insulation.  Give  height  of  side  walls  whether  8  or  10  feet,  and 
with  or  without  supporting  center  posts.  Upon  receipt  of  full  information  immediate 
quotation  will  he  made  for  prompt  delivery.

seventy-four  units  are  required 
to  erect  our  “Suburbanite”  mod¬

how  simple  it  is  to  build  by  this 
system.  Just  bolt  the  seventy- 
four  units  or  sections  together 
and  move  in.  Anyone  can  do  it. 
When  the  need  has  passed,  take 
out  the  bolts  and  you  can  move 
to  another  location  without 
leaving  anvthing  behind.  These 
same  units  will  build  many 
other  types  of  buildings  without 
alteration.
